This topic grew out of the What’s for Dinner discussion in Episode 38 with registered dietician Elise Compston. If you haven’t listened to that episode you should! It is hard to talk about food and not talk about feelings around food and our bodies. As we know, body image is complex, from the way we feel about our body to the way society values it. Children are exposed to thousands of messages every day about how to look and as media exposure continues to increase, talking to kids about body positivity is more important than ever.
As parents, we can help set a foundation for body positivity at a very young age. Helping your child develop a healthy relationship with food and their body often starts with awareness and self-reflection. Elise is back on the podcast to share ways we can teach and model body positivity to our children. Elise shares:
- how your relationship with food affects your child
- what is intuitive and mindful eating
- how to approach feeding your child
- ways to encourage body positivity and things to be mindful of
